Zara McDermott Glows in Beaded BAFTAs Gown: ‘I Want to Wear It Forever’

Zara McDermott wasn’t ready to say goodbye to her glamorous BAFTAs look.

On Monday, February 23, the former Love Island star took to Instagram to share a fresh set of snaps from the big night, captioning the post, “a few more from @bafta because I’m obsessed w this dress and I want to wear it forever 😂🦋🤍✨.”

McDermott stunned in a figure-hugging, floor-length gown drenched in soft, silver toned sparkle. The dress featured delicate straps and a structured square neckline, giving it a clean, modern shape.

Intricate blue floral embroidery trailed down the bodice and skirt, with subtle butterfly details adding a playful touch. The beaded embellishments caught the light beautifully, creating a shimmering effect from every angle.

The silhouette skimmed her frame effortlessly, highlighting her curves while keeping the overall look polished and elegant.

She styled her glossy, voluminous brunette waves swept to one side, paired with soft glam makeup and delicate jewelry that let the dress take center stage.

Fans flooded the comments section with praise. Maura Higgins led the charge with an enthusiastic “WOWWWW🔥🔥🔥🔥,” while another admirer kept it simple with “Gorgeous ❤️❤️.”

Before reality TV fame, the UK reality star worked as a policy advisor for the Department for Education, later rising to fame on the fourth series of Love Island.

Now dating former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 34, she’s clearly in her main character fashion era and loving every sparkling second of it.
